I have been looking at skidplates, pipe guards, radiiator cages/guards mainly. But i am also just wanting to see what parts are available compared to other brands

Out of those vendors, i have only seen motocrosscenter.com before. So right off i now know of a selection of vendors to check out-Thanks!
Here is a list for you to review as well.
(NOTE - Some advice is my opinion only as others on here have other advice and opinions as well)

I have purchased from Motocrosscenter.com. After many emails and a bit of language barrier I got the order placed. Once it shipped from Spain I had the package at my door in under a week!!!

Did your 2011 not come with a skid plate? The 2012?s and 2013?s come with the AXP Racing composite skid plate. I think you can get one of these from GoFasters.com

In regards to your list?..

SKID PLATE
Emperor Racing (formally Scorpion Racing) from just North of us in B.C.
Great high end quality products and great customer service and fast shipping.
http://shopusa.emperorracing.com/

Enduro Engineering
http://www.enduroeng.com

RAD GUARDS
Emperor Racing
http://shopusa.emperorracing.com/

BulletProof Designs ? these guys make great billet guards. I had them for my previous CRF250X.
https://www.bulletproofdesigns.com/

In my opinion I like the rad frames like the ones from Emperor. This way you can still use the OEM plastic fins that direct more air through the Radiators.

PIPE GUARD
I just purchased a P3 guard from Steve at PlusOnePerformance
http://afterhourscycle.com/
The P3 guard is a carbon fiber/Kevlar guard that is handmade ?IN THE USA?. The fit and quality is top notch.

OTHER ITEMS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER?..

REAR DISC GUARD
I tried to purchase one from BulletProof Designs as I had heard they made the best one out there?. But they no longer make one.
So I purchased mine from Enduro Engineering instead?. I never saw the BulletProof one but the EE one is great and a very high quality product in my opinion.

SUSPENSION
LT Racing ? Les is located right here in the Puget Sound area.
http://www.lt-racing.com/
Les is a great guy that is honest and knows suspension very well.

THROTTLE CABLE
I did not like how the OEM throttle cable connected (or actually did NOT connect) to the Domino throttle tube.
So I contacted CycleBuy in Oregon and purchased the MotionPro T3 Slidelight +3 in Throttle Cable (Part # MP-10-3000). It is great because it actually screws directly into the Domino throttle tube. Main reason I did this is because I had heard about a few cases where a branch or something similar on the trails could accidentally catch the cable and then you would get a full throttle of power w/o knowing?.

http://www.cyclebuy.com
The guys there are very knowledgeable and great to work with. When I order from them and the order is placed by their cut off time to ship that day I will have it at my doorstep the NEXT day ? AWESOME!!

CLUTCH COVER
The Rekluse clutch cover is a great product. Good insurance knowing if you lay the bike down your clutch/oil should be protected.
